Burbridge Gave the Game.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 21.-The UNI
pire gave to-day's game to Nashville, but
Savannah won it, in spite of the fact that
the official score stands Z to in Nashvilles
favor. In the fifth inning when Nashville
was at the bat and two men were out and
two men on bases, Hayes knocked a long
foul just outside the foul line The men on
bases came home and Hayes went to second,
but seeing where the ball went started back
Umpire Burbridge, however, to everybody
surprise decided Hayes safe at second and
the two runners fairly in. This was the
only feature of the game, which was other

Memphis 6, Charleston l

MEMPHIS, April 2l.-A large crowd wit
messed the opening game of the series be
tween Memphis and Charleston at Citizens
Park this afternoon. Memphis virtually
won the game in the first inning, scoring
seven times. The pitcher of the opposing
team stood the punishment like a man, how
ever, and kept the Browns from scoring but
one run thereafter Charleston accorded
their boxman excellent support after the
first disastrous inning, and played good
uphill game Smith, for Memphis, pitched
his usual steady game, and the back stop
work OF Crotty was good. In fact, the work
of the whole team was excellent The
features of the game were Carl's home run
hit, scoring Charleston's only run, and the
brilliant work Of the outfeders OF both
teams. Some terrific drives were made to-
ward the fielders, but everything was COB
bled. Manager Powell has fine team, and
to-morrow's game will undoubtedly he
much closer. The following is the score by
innings;

would be a pleasure to us to pay this tribute

our intercourse not only instructive but of
enduring love. In an important crisis in
public affairs, his health failed, but with
that devotion to the public welfare which
had characterized his whole life, he contin-
ued to occupy his seat in the Senate, when
his indOmitable spirit was vainly struggling
against his physical exhaustion. His wis

direct and sustain, but he was taken from us

The Worlds Championship.

The impression seems to prevail among a
good many bast ball reporters that the Chi
Cages have won from the st. Louis club the
title of Champions of the World" This is
not so. If there ever was such title, says
o. P. Caylor, ST Louis still holds it. The
agreement for the last series calls for nine
games. Six have been played, and the
other three take place in Chicago after the
close of the championship season next fall.
If the Chicagos win one of the three they
will be entitled to claim the honor the st.
Louis Browns now hold, but if st. Louis
wins all three they will retain the title. The
chances are three to one in Chicago's favor,

James Wyatt, the colored polygamist,
plead guilty in the Superior Court yester-

his chances ON a trial, but changed his mind
at the last moment.
Mr.. Carr, the deputy clerk, had begun
calling over the jury list when Wyatt in
structed his counsel to change the plea to
guilty. He has three wives living, one in
Atlanta and two in Savannah. His third
was recent acquisition, a young colored
girl with whom he eloped. Had he been con-
tent with two he would probably have es-
capped prosecution, but the father of his third
wife had Wyatt jailed. Judge Adams sen
